INTRO:  E  Esus*  E  Esus

E
when you come across the sea
                                        D(9)*
me like a beacon guiding you to safety

the sooner the better now
E
and when you come the hills

will breathe like a baby
                                         D(9)
pulled up heaving from the bottom of the ocean

the sooner the better now
E
when you come to cover me with your kisses
                                          D(9)
fresh like a daisy chained up in a lion's den
E
I'll know you by the thunderclap
                                   D(9)
pouring like a rain of blood to my emotions

            C#m
and that is why
  B             E
I stumble to my knees
    B                  A
and why underneath the heavens
     B                     A
with the stars burning and exploding
       B                     A       G
I know I could never let you down
              E
when you come

E
when you come like an iceberg float in darkness
                                              D(9)
smashing my hull send me to the bottom of the sea

I should know you better now
E
when you come your majesty to entrap me
                        D(9)
prince of light receding

the sooner the better now
E
and when you come to cover me
                                 D(9)
with your kisses hard like armour

the sooner the better now
E              A   B   E
I'll know you by

the thunderclap
                                           D(9)
pouring like a rain of blood to my emotions

and that is why
I stumble to my knees
and why underneath the heavens
with the stars burning and exploding
I know I could never let you down

E                   D(9)
she came out of the water
          E
into my horizon
              D(9)
like a cumulo nimbus
                 E
coming in from a distance
              D(9)
burning and exploding
              E
burning and exploding
            D(9)
like a slow volcano
         E        D(9)  [etc. ... ]
when you come
cover the ground with ashes
when you come
